Alberta Eyes GW-Scale Energy Projects for AI Data Centres - ClearBlue Markets
Alberta plans to attract up to CAD 100 billion in investment for large-scale AI data centres, driven by its natural gas resources. This push contrasts with Canada's federal strategy, which emphasizes renewable energy for digital infrastructure. Construction of gigawatt-scale data centres could start as early as 2026, with over 30 projects seeking to tap into Alberta's electricity grid.
